O Bahia vive um dos momentos mais delicados de sua temporada. Após a derrota por 2 a 1 para o Botafogo, pela 26ª rodada do Brasileirão, o Tricolor não apenas deixou escapar pontos importantes, mas também acumulou uma série de baixas para a próxima partida, contra o Flamengo. O técnico Rogério Ceni terá que lidar com pelo menos 13 desfalques.
Suspensões complicam planejamento
No confronto contra o Botafogo, o Bahia perdeu cinco atletas de uma só vez por questões disciplinares. Luciano Juba, Santiago Arias, Rodrigo Nestor e Gabriel Xavier receberam o terceiro cartão amarelo, enquanto Mateo Sanabria foi expulso após simular um pênalti no segundo tempo da partida.
Luciano Juba já havia saído lesionado no início do jogo, aos 19 minutos, com dores na coxa. No banco de reservas, acabou recebendo cartão amarelo de maneira estratégica para “zerar” sua contagem de advertências, mas a lesão deve prolongar sua ausência.
Pouco depois, Santiago Arias também foi advertido ao cometer falta em Arthur Cabral. Já no segundo tempo, Sanabria recebeu dois cartões e foi expulso em lance polêmico. Nos minutos finais, Rodrigo Nestor e Gabriel Xavier também entraram para a lista de suspensos.
Com isso, Rogério Ceni terá de reformular completamente o meio-campo e o setor defensivo, já que quatro dos punidos atuam entre a primeira linha e a faixa central do time.
Departamento médico cheio
Além dos suspensos, o Bahia convive com um departamento médico abarrotado. Ao todo, oito jogadores seguem em recuperação de lesões, a maioria delas musculares, que vêm atormentando o elenco ao longo da temporada.
Entre os nomes mais importantes estão:
- João Paulo: afastado desde setembro por lesão no ligamento medial do joelho.
- Kanu: fora desde abril, após lesão grave na panturrilha e no tendão de Aquiles, que exigiu cirurgia.
- David Duarte: lesionado no reto femoral, sem treinar integralmente com o grupo.
- Erick: fora desde maio por lesão no reto femoral, também com intervenção cirúrgica.
- Caio Alexandre: lesionado em agosto, no mesmo grupo muscular.
- Erick Pulga: afastado por lesão na coxa posterior.
- Ruan Pablo: também com lesão no reto femoral, desde julho.
A esses nomes pode se somar o zagueiro Ramos Mingo, que deixou o campo contra o Botafogo sentindo dores na posterior da coxa. Ele será avaliado em Salvador, mas sua participação diante do Flamengo é incerta.
Uma luz no fim do túnel
A única notícia positiva para Rogério Ceni é o retorno do volante Acevedo, que cumpriu suspensão automática na derrota para o Botafogo e estará à disposição para o jogo de domingo. Sua presença pode trazer mais equilíbrio ao meio-campo, setor que será um dos mais afetados pelos desfalques.
Outro reforço é o lateral-direito Gilberto, recuperado, que pode ocupar a vaga deixada por Arias.
Peso do jogo contra o Flamengo
A partida contra o Flamengo, marcada para domingo, às 18h30 (de Brasília), na Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova, ganha contornos decisivos. O Tricolor precisa reagir na tabela para evitar a aproximação da zona de risco, enquanto o Rubro-Negro segue na briga pelas primeiras posições.
Com tantos desfalques, o Bahia deve apostar em jovens do elenco e possíveis improvisações. A expectativa é de que nomes da base, como os meias Kayky e Sidmar, ganhem espaço entre os relacionados.
Situação geral dos desfalques do Bahia
Suspensos:
- Luciano Juba
- Santiago Arias
- Rodrigo Nestor
- Gabriel Xavier
- Mateo Sanabria
Lesionados:
- João Paulo
- Kanu
- David Duarte
- Erick
- Caio Alexandre
- Erick Pulga
- Ruan Pablo
- Ramos Mingo (dúvida)
